The Federal Convention that framed the
Constitution of the United States, began
completed the work on the nth of Septem-
Der, 1877. Consequently, on the 18th of Sep
tember, 1887, a century will have elapsed
since this constitution was completed and
signed by its trainers. Commemorative
services are to be had in Philadelphia, the
city where the Convention met, on this day
and the two preceding days. President
Cleveland will preside on the last day of the
commemoration. The men who drafted the
Constitution have all passed away, not one
of them being left, but the work which they
did and the benfits thereof still live, and

An editor that could indulge in such ma

magnifed and lied-about trouble between
Cashier Flitcraft and Postmaster French,

THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION

The unanimous decision Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission on the question Of
continuing the order suspending the operation
Of the long and short haul clause of the law
over the different roads throughout the coun-
try that had applied and obtained temporary
relief was made pubic on Thursday. The
order for temporary relief mado in
favor of the Louisville and Nashville
Road will be allowed to remain in
force until the day originally limited for
its expiration or the other applications for
relief, coming from the transcontinental lines
from the Southern and Southwestern, North
ern, Eastern and Western lines, forty five in
all, il is decided that the temporary orders
which have been made in some of these petit
tons will, in like manner, be permitted to re-
main in force until the expiration of the time
originally limited in each. No further order
the Commission says, will be mado upon any
OF the petitions, for alth ough some two or
three of the cases may not by tho facts ro-
cited in the applications for relief, bo brought
strictly within the principles discussed
In the decision. yet they all present what
are claimed 10 be different circumstances and
conditions, adequate TO authorize exceptions
to the general rule; and il the petition ers are
persuaded that the fact is as they represent
they should act under the statute according
". The Commission devotes considerable
space to discussion Of the proper construc-
ton of the long and short clause of the act,
and the duty of the Commission In affordin2
relief to petitioners by suspending this pro-
vision of tho law, and sums up its conclusion
in the following language:
The charging or receiving the greater CON-
ponsation for tho shorter than for the longer
haul is fo hidden only when both arc undor
substantially similar circumstances and con-
ditions, and therefore IL in any case the
carrier, without first obtaining an order OF
relief, shall depart from tho general rule,
its doing so will not alone convict IL OF tlle-
gality, since IL the circum stance and conditions,
! of tho two hauls are dissimilar the statute
is not violated. Should interested party
| warranted an Issue would be presented for ad-
| judicatioD, and the risks OF that adjudication
| the carrier would necessarily assume. The
latter clause I'm the same section, which en-
powers the Commission IN make orders for re-
lief in Its discretion does not In doing restrict
| IL TO a finding OF circumstances and conditions
strictly dissimilar, but seems intended to give
a discretionary authority for cases that could
not be we'll indicated in advance by general
| face should be acted upon clearly excep-
tional. would be left for adjudication whom the
action of the carrier was challenged. The
statute becomes, ON this construction, prac-
/ tical, and this section may be enforced without

The BOYS Answer.

There is usually reason to be found
for doing what we desire. On the
other hand, there are plenty of argu-
ments to prove that the same line OF
action may be injurious to other people.
One day q teacher told her scholars
that it was wrong to chew tobacco
when small boy, with an important
air, replied that he had seen q fellow
chew tobacco because his teeth ached,
and stoutly averred that it was not
wrong for any one to chew tobacco il
his teeth ached. This seemed to please
the scholars very much, and the teach
er was at first sorely puzzled to know
how to answer this stunning argument.
At last she said to the boy: Horace,
If girl should have the toothache,
and want to chew tobacco, what would
she do2' Horace scratched his head,
and then said resolutely: "She ought
to have the tooth pulled" Thus our
pet vices become our remedies, the
while we direct our neighbors to the
dentist round the corner. Youths

The San Juan pie is by no means OF
ancient origin. The centennial year
ushered the stranger in, and ever since
il has been looked upon IN the same
category with the poem beautiful
Snow" That is to say, the patentees
OF each have taken to the brush, and
do not acknowledge their progeny. As
built at our hostelrics, pies are war
ranted TO keep in any climate and are
fire and burglar proof. They are some
times inclosed by barbed-wire fence
TO keep out the cattle, but otherwise
are said to be harmless enough unless
partaken of too freely by strangers un-
acquainted with the customs of the
country. A tendcrfoot loaded with our
best brand of pie is always subject
for the surgeons knife. II he survives
the operation he is said to have become
acclimated. The foundation for this
unique edifice sprung from q happy
thought of the patentee, while singing
~'Tis But o Little Faded Flour" and
the balance of the structure was COM
pleted by entered apprentices, who,
mistaking the designs Of the master
builder, filed it in with ten-penny
nails, scrap iron, and other tropical
fruit. The plans and specifications Of
the first structure have been handed
faithfully down until even to this day
the signs, passwords, and grips of the
original pie, like the poor, are always
with us. High livers, who are old
timers, daily with tb' 8 luxury, and are
the best patrons of our drug stores,
hence the crying demand for compound
cathartic pills. As self-binder and
reaper it has no superior outside OF
newly made cheese, and will stick
closer to you than the friend of your
girlhood. To the unsophisticated with
in our gates we say beware of the San
Juan PIE when it is loaded. 1t is more
to be dreaded than the business end oi
